i like that. if maude louise kicks my asparagus again, i'll frog it and do your cardigan. i'm almost done knitting xmas ornaments so that will get kicked up the list.

Let me know when you plan on starting! We could try and knit it together. It will take me a while to track down some decent yarn (or rather the money to pay for it).

i looked at my maude louise cardigan yesterday, really looked honestly at it, and think i like your pattern better-- hell, i like anything better than that thing. i do want to try something that's top down, but want to find something free........ i am going to see what i can find out there.

i looked at the project pages for both and hate to say that all the antipodes projects look like something i'd never wear in a million years. the pattern pics are so loose and floaty but i'm not a loose and floaty kind of girl... the project pics for allegoro look a little more realistic, so i think i am going to go with it.

Those look cool! I'm still stuck on the other cardigan even if the pattern is 4.95. If I end up getting it I'll send you the PDF.

ZOMG! I started it yesterday and what a freaking joy to work top down. and it looks so damn cool. someone here (can't remember who) told me that once you knit a top-down you never go back and i was too much of a dope to follow up.... wish i had!! that was what kept whipping me with the other cardigan was the joining.... now i don't have to worry.

Wait, which one did you start? The one I mentioned or the free one you linked to?

I'm working on my first pair of mittens! They're a little sloppy, but I'm learning so much: magic loop, thumb gusset, increases, decreases, sizing it for myself. I found a bunch of free classes through the knitpicks site: http://www.knitpicks.com/Tutorials/Knit ... rials.html

After working these mittens I think I'll actually be able to tackle a pair of socks.

The free one. I'm so predictable.

I miss making mittens. When the kid was little I made them like crazy. Thumb gusset, ah how i miss you!!

i always have to look up the first few stitches because i can never remember how to do it, but i think it makes the seam so much nicer than sewing. i'd rather finish with a kitchener than anything else. and i like the repetitive-ness of it.

anyway, finished socks:the long-awaited for penispoocakewafflesocks

see the tiny wangs? they're hard (ba dum!) to see in black. i probably should have swapped the colors. oh well.

and these... they're supposed to look like an hourglass, but they didn't really come out nicely with stripey yarn. they look a lot better in pictures where people used solid. oh well. they're not for me.

right now i'm finishing up some space invaders socks that are awe.some. they're going to my ex's girlfriend for christmas. but i sort of want to keep them for myself.

I love your socks! I've never been good at making socks...
